I know I am not bidding against the owner of the machine; it's a level playing field… The prices at Ritchie Bros. auctions are fair – you pay what the machine is worth, the market price.

Navneet Mathur sells more than US$20 million of new and used equipment every year through his Vermeer dealership in India. When he's looking for used equipment, Navneet trusts one source above all: a Ritchie Bros. auction.

I like buying from Ritchie Bros. because they have a very clear, consistent and transparent system. You know what to expect and how the auction is going to be run: it's the same every time.

Bryan Gour runs an excavator rental and parts business in Greater Vancouver, B.C. that was established by his late father-in-law Jim Blanche. When Ritchie Bros. celebrated its 50th anniversary, Bryan made sure he was there - not just for himself, but for Jim too.

Ritchie Bros. auctions are amazing. The selection of equipment is incredible, the pace of the auction is fast, and the whole process is very fair and efficient. I know what equipment will be sold, I can inspect it before the auction and, if I am the successful bidder, the equipment is available right away.

Ritchie Bros. auctions are fair. I know we're paying the true value when we buy and getting the true value when we sell.

In 1958 - the year that Ritchie Bros. was founded - Billy Jackson started W F Jackson Construction Co. in Sandersville, Georgia with little more than determination and a single dozer. Billy credits good people for his company's success - and his long relationship with Ritchie Bros.
